Women in Manufacturing Event: Plastic Packaging Legislation – What Manufacturers Need to Know

Oregon’s Recycling Revolution: What Manufacturers Need to Know

This event is hosted by Women in Manufacturing Oregon Chapter.

Oregon’s Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (RMA) represents one of the most ambitious and far-reaching extended producer responsibility laws in the country.

While intended to improve recycling outcomes and reduce plastic pollution, the law introduces a complex framework of new obligations for manufacturers, brand owners, and producers.

This presentation will provide an overview of the RMA’s extensive compliance requirements, implementation timeline, and enforcement mechanisms.

Participants will gain insight into the legal and operational challenges businesses face as they navigate producer responsibility obligations, reporting requirements, fees, and ongoing compliance expectations.

The session will also examine the significant costs associated with implementation and enforcement, emerging legal and policy issues, and the broader implications for manufacturers operating in Oregon and beyond.

Whether your organization is already subject to the law or is preparing for future regulatory developments, this webinar will help you understand the risks, responsibilities, and strategic considerations associated with one of the nation’s most complex recycling regulatory programs.
